If they think this is going to get them re-elected, they've got another thing coming...But I'll take the ban too.

Arizona

Isn't Arizona where one of the major RLC manufacturers is located?

In addition to ATS, Redflex has their North American offices in Phoenix, but they are actually an Australian company.

Combined legislation...

Quote:

"A state Senate committee has resurrected a measure banning photo radar on Arizona highways.
The measure was tacked on to a transportation bill that would make it easier for the state to create toll roads."

I take back everything bad I've ever said about toll roads. Bring'em on! I'll take a bunch of toll roads over photo radar any way.

Hey, now *there's* a thought -- combine the concepts of toll roads with banning speed cameras. You pay a toll, and you're exempt from speed camera tickets! wink

Which leads, inevitably, to... Everyone on the "toll" road gets photographed at entry and exit. Compare the entry and exit times-of-day, calculate the speed... and the faster you went, the more you get billed for the "toll". No fines, no points, no going to court... you determine your "toll" by your speed on the road.

At least that way there is no hypocrisy. Then EVERYONE knows it's about revenue generation.

Hey, that's actually an idea I could get behind. I'd happily pay good money to go fast and not be hassled by The Man. wink
